This encyclopedia provides readers with a comprehensive look at the Gal ipagos Islands, from the wildlife and scientists that made them famous to the challenges and issues the islands face today.



In the mid-1800s, the Gal ipagos Islands served as Charles Darwin's playground, a volcanic archipelago where he famously worked on his theories of evolution and natural selection. But who actually discovered the islands? Why didn't any country claim them for more than 200 years? And is ecotourism hurting or helping these mysterious islands?


This volume explores the history, science, and culture of the Gal ipagos Islands. A preface, introduction, chronology, and "Gal ipagos at a Glance" primer introduce readers to the islands that are so famously associated with Charles Darwin. Twelve thematic essays allow readers to explore such topics as evolution, the geology of the islands, invasive species, and tourism in depth. Topical entries follow, covering key individuals and organizations as well as other important concepts and ideas.


Thirteen primary document excerpts allow readers to study firsthand accounts from explorers and visitors to the islands. Appendices, a glossary, a bibliography, and sidebars round out the text. Students of history, geography, and science will find this volume informative, while general readers will be intrigued to learn about these unique islands.

Totally Unacceptable
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I purchased this at $129.81 for a new book this book appears to be used & it’s obviously damaged. This is not what I spend my money on. I need this book for class. This is unacceptable on so many levels.

Comprehensive book. Great study tool for students or nurses entering Maternal Child specialties.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Excellent read. Using for review before taking on a new role in Maternal Child Nursing. Comprehensive. Great tables, images, and key concepts and skills check questions are included for each chapter. My book spine is wearing out but I've read more than 1/3 the book and been toting around in a bag and has had heavy use for at least a month.

It was ok
Format: Hardcover
There is what appears to be water damage to some of the pages. I barely used the book. Maybe twice the entire quarter. I hope they knew about this before hand.

Textbook
Format: Hardcover
After reading several bad reviews, I was worried about the quality my book would come in. However, the book is in great condition! It is a thick and heavy book.

Falling apart and HIGHLY repetitive
Format: Hardcover
I'm a nursing student. My entire class has this book. Nearly ALL of our books are falling apart. The cover completely ripping off as well as the binding. And the repetitiveness of this book is insane. PLEASE fix these issues. This book is too expensive to be falling apart like this.
